Question

Trying to implement this feature click to play the vimeo video.

I found an example of this and figured it’s possible some way. I saw it on this square up page: https://squareup.com/#video-testimonials

Anyone have any idea how they did this? They replaced the image with the video and had it play?

That site uses VideoJS with the vimcss skin.

The video is in fact not hosted on Vimeo, but on Amazon S3, as you can see in the source:
